I came across an article that expressed the link between many current educational initiatives and the pedagogy of art education. Below you will find a quick overview of the major points of the essay.
- Substantial evidence points to a correlation between student achievement and fine arts education.
- Most art curricula are "student centered", personally relevant, and utilize formative assessment; all major topics in educational reform today.
- "Project-Based Learning" is used daily in the art classroom with students working toward a specific performance goal.
- "Visual Literacy" has been a mainstay of art education from the onset, teaching students to look beyond text for meaning through purposeful interpretations and evaluation exercises.
- "Portfolio Assessment" is a large part of determining growth and deciding what channels the artist should explore next based on thier current work.
